INSTANT TRAVEL VEHICLE (ITV)
The Instant Travel Vehicles(ITVs) are a very useful ability.
They allows you to "call a ride" when you are away from a shuttleport or starport.
This can be especially helpful when you are visiting planets that have little to no shuttleport access (Endor, Yavin IV, etc). It can save you the long trek back through dangerous territory!
ITV Classifications
ITVs are classified based on their functionality, with each classification bringing additional restrictions or costs.
| Standard ITVs | Rattletrap, X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Royal Ship, Privateer, Twin Pod Cloud Car, AT-AT Head |
| Advanced ITVs | Corellian G9 Rigger, Snowspeeder, Slave 1, Geonosian Solar Sailor, Republic Gunship, Flight of the Veteran |
New Player Discount
Any new characters, under 30 days old, will not have to pay any credit charge or require a fuel cell to use any ITV.
Universal Restrictions And Costs
All ITVs have a charge of 10,000 credits to use. This fee is bypassed for characters under 30 days of age or with an ITV Multipass.
All ITVs are unusable while in combat, as a jedi with a visbility value of 3,000 or more, in certain restricted locations(like instances), and while performing travel restricted activities(Galactic Supply Line Missions and Underworld Smuggler Missions).
Standard ITVs
Standard ITVs also require an ITV Fuel Cell or Heavy Fuel Cell - Mark V to use. This need is bypassed for characters under 30 days of age.
Advanced ITVs
Advanced ITVs also prohibit travel for 60 seconds after combat and while special forces.
How To Use a Normal ITV
When you activate the ability, a 30 second timer starts to count down(Combat will cancel the timer). There is a minimum amount of "clear area" needed for some vehicles to "land", so you may have to move around a bit to find the right spot. Also, you cannot call it in most NPC cities, PVP zones, or on Kashyyyk.
Upon completion of the timer, an ITV (Vehicle) will appear.
Click on the Vehicle and choose the "Use" option.
This will open a UI showing all of the places you can travel to.
Remember that only the person that called the ITV can use it - no passengers!
Once you have selected the destination, click "Travel" and you will be given a confirmation window reminding you of the cost(s) of the ride.
ITV Multipass
The ITV Multipass is a system where you can prepurchase ITV uses. The system is accessible via the payment UI of any ITV(after selecting a destination). Currently the purchase options are for packs of 10, 20, 50, and 100 at 10,000 credits per use, but you get an additional 10% uses(so a 100 pack would cost 1,000,000 credits and give you 110 uses). Your current ITV Multipass uses, if any, will appear in your skill mods on the character sheet.
